Description

The world has an Asian problem. Or, perhaps more accurately, the world has a problem with Asians. For millennia, people of Asian heritage have been the targets of injustice, inequality, prejudice, and suspicion. It's time for a global attitude change. In "Chink," Armstrong Millamena highlights the many abuses and ongoing disrespect suffered by Asians. Millamena skillfully chronicles how non-Asians traditionally view both Asian Americans and the larger global Asian community-issues Asians must understand and engage with or risk remaining ignored, disadvantaged, and subject to widespread discrimination. Unlike other books dealing with Asian issues, "Chink" takes an important step forward. Millamena offers a thoughtful, effective solution to the "Asian problem," a simple action plan summed up by the acronym ASIANS: Awareness, Synergism, Intelligence/Independent Action, New, and Success. With this powerful tool as a base, Asians finally have the option of standing united and ending global injustice. Armstrong Millamena's groundbreaking work stands poised to become the most influential book ever written on Asians and their place in a world that often considers them invisible. Hold your breath. "Chink" marks the beginning of a movement unlike any the world has seen before.show more
